There's nothing to swallow. Lower dollar against other currencies makes your
goods look cheaper to them. That's as obvious as the sun in the sky. Why do
you think all these Europeans were flying over here to go shopping?



I'd much rather be flying over there to go shopping,
and touring, as the days of America's greatness, but
things cost twice as much now in American razbuckniks.




Everything we buy from overseas is going to cost more now,
after we've already eliminated our ability to make our own stuff.
Do you think other nations are going to sell goods to us below
their cost out of charity because our dollars aren't worth much
to them anymore?

No. I think if the condition is prolonged and looks permanent, Americans
will start manufacturing businesses again, particularly as wages overseas
escalate.


So parity with Mexico will be "Mission Accomplished"
What a shame, what a disaster, what a sad end for
the USA. Thank you, Reagan, Bush 1, and Bush 2.
Good job. Who could possibly think otherwise?
